Separate evaluations will be completed for the district’s migrant, homeless, neglected and delinquent, and private school programs. The evaluations will address the specific objectives of each project application and will determine the impact that funds had in meeting those objectives. Data to be analyzed will include school grades, state and local assessments, data from advanced placement courses, teacher evaluations, survey results from homeless and neglected and delinquent programs, parent and community involvement, and professional development. The information will be used to better prioritize and direct federal dollars toward programs and initiatives that are closing current achievement gaps. | |
